User-Contributed Transcription 1) How about several chapters about notable families who migrated? Like the Caytons who went to the north-west, for example. I have just done a more child-like chapter about them for my career book. But there is good material in their story.2) I am planning an article on The Two Harlems - my own first impression (1924) and the present - which could be re-worked for another.3) The John Jones story could be revised to become a migration story of the early period.4) Also, perhaps, our underground railroad stuff could become a migratory manifestation.
